★ IT 領域最佳入門磚，新手也可以好犀利！ ★對於有志於從事 IT 工作的人來說，一定要會用的三套工具就是：命令列 (文字模式)、編輯器和 Git 版本控制。雖然會有替代方案，不一定非要用它們不可，但如果要真正融入 IT 領域，建議還是先學會比較好，不然以後一定會覺得跟別人格格不入。但我們並沒有打算把你培養成絕世高手，大部分的 IT 老手多半只會自己需要的技能 (不夠再學就好)，因此本書將只聚焦於最重要的面向，你不需掌握所有細節，只要剛好夠用就很犀利了。★ 現代軟體開發三本柱：命令列、文字編輯器、Git 版本控制 ★即使沒聽過「命令列 (Command Line)」，應該也看過黑底白字的文字模式。在 IT 領域中，以文字模式運作的系統無所不在，我們要讓你可以在這個看起來很厲害的環境下做各種操作，這樣算是打開了軟體開發的大門。文字編輯器用於建立純文字檔案，包含所有網頁檔案和程式語言。因此，在學會寫程式之前，其實更應該熟悉文字編輯器的使用。我們會以 Atom 作示範，介紹編輯器基本的核心功能，同時會帶到 Sublime Text、VS Code、Cloud9 等其他工具。特別會介紹功能強大 的 Vim，就算只學會 Vim 皮毛，也足夠讓 IT 老手對你刮目相看。Git 版本控制系統可以讓你追蹤檔案間的差異，對於現在的軟體開發而言，已經是不可或缺。我們會用簡單的範例帶你快速入門，並結合 GitHub 進行線上同步，方便你未來可銜接團隊協同開發，也會大致學到如何解決無可避免的檔案衝突問題。除了教你各種工具的使用、厚實你的硬實力之外，作者也在書中致力於培養你解決 IT 技術問題的能力、和工作上跟他人協同開發的眉角，不只如此，也細心到會補充一些 IT 專有名詞、業內行話/黑話，甚至連命令、符號的念法也都會說分明，這些可以視為 IT 人的軟實力。學會上述這些技能，可以幫助 IT 新鮮人早日脫離新手村，或者是未來想跳槽、轉換跑道，也都會很有幫助。本書特色: 手把手教學、解鎖 IT 人日常使用的開發工具，無痛展開你的工程師職涯◎完全新手的命令列基礎實戰，不是無用的命令字典，而是紮實從檔案操作、路徑切換、顯示內容、重複命令…等，提供最易理解的入門方式。◎文字編輯器的必學技巧，包括：尋找、取代、快速鍵、換行、語法突顯…等技巧，從 Atom 到 Sublime Text、VS Code、
